Weird, but sweet.

We ate and my other siblings showed up to eat as well. Mum glanced between us all, clearly knowing something was going on from the way we were all fired up.

Once dinner was over, we all pulled out our own laptops and brought up our financials. I gave my brothers disgusted looks when they were all immediately knocked out.

I actually had choice words for them and let them have it a bit in Korean that they needed to do better and not act like such entitled men who knew they’d inherit money. Da was a self-made man before he was ever considered Granddad’s successor and they should aspire to that.

They didnotappreciate the teardown, but when it was clear that my three sisters were disgusted too, they changed gears and demanded to see what I had that was so great.

Ha-yun couldn’t hide her shock as she looked it over.

And I had about the same shock as I looked over hers.

“You little shit,” she hissed. “How? I’m way older than you and—how?”

“You have overhead and staff,” I muttered as I studied the numbers. “I don’t.”

“This is impressive,” she admitted.

“Who won?” Da asked, already having filled in Mum but not about the bet and the stakes.

“She does,” I said the same time she said that I did. She shot me a shit look and I sighed. “It would come down to stock prices in this moment, but you took out that building and I wasthinking—I took more stock options in my contracts because I didn’t need to worry about funds and had my trust.”

“I did the same,” she conceded. “I’ll accept a tie and we will still name you winner.” She scrolled down a bit. “This is impressive, Brother. I didn’t think you had a finance education or—”

“Just the basics and I can’t take the credit,” I admitted as I sat back in my chair and met her gaze. “My mate from uni is an attorney. He’s always negotiated my contracts. His parents are pains who don’t like doctors but love me. I talk them into physicals and their appointments and he handles my legal everything. I have a financial advisor mate too.”

“Your last sons group,” she muttered, nodding when I did. “They did right by you.”

“Your range and diversity are impressive. It always makes me too nervous.” I looked some more and sighed. “I want to see one of your buildings.”

Instantly, her mood changed and she bared her teeth at me. “That wasn’t part of—”

“It’s not the intro Father wanted, but I heard something that you could use,” I told her. “In Miami, which is a tough market for most to get into.” I saw the interest in her eyes. “But I don’t know you, Ha-yun, or your practices. All of these places could be slums you overcharge for.”

“We would never allow that,” Mum defended.

“Agreed, but I’ve neverseenit, and I have enough that haunts me from losing patients to—is it really so wrong to see one of my sister’s buildings?”

“No and I have nothing to hide,” Ha-yun said firmly. “I can give you a quick tour of any building you pick tomorrow before you leave.”

I extended my hand to her. “If it lives up to what I assume it will, I’ll even invest since clearly you’re a good investment.”

“And you’ve got the money to do it,” one of my brothers said bitterly.

“Deal, baby brother,” Ha-yun accepted. “And I want to talk to your money guy mate. The market has changed and I would like to talk numbers.”

I nodded. “You’re more than welcome to join us tonight for a drink and intro, but I do need my mates and don’t get them often.”

“Just a drink,” she accepted.

Maybe hell really could freeze over.

My mates couldn’t hide their shock when I walked in with my sister. One even spit out his beer all over the table.

“Smooth, tosser,” I chuckled as I walked over and introduced her. I growled when I scented something I shouldn’t have. “Oi, my sister, gits. Don’t even think it.”

“You’re all too young for me,” Ha-yun chuckled smoothly. “I’d hate to chew up one of my baby brother’s friends.”
